The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X225SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC32X225SU is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding mid-weight tasks. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance. A 1/4" port supplies air, while the 225 mm stroke falls well within the 500 mm standard limit. Because this is a -S SKU, it includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both ends let you dial in a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke kinetic energy at high speeds, protecting your payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. In practical terms, this bore yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or about 20.5 kg of vertical lift when applying a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style 90-degree rear cover simplifies port and mounting orientation in tight machinery.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Drives 225 mm diverting arms at high cycle rates, relying on the adjustable air cushions to softly stop the 402 N thrust without slamming packages.
Folds heavy corrugated flaps on packaging lines where the stainless build withstands washdown, while the U cover keeps the 1/4" port neatly oriented.
Applies up to 563 N of push at 0.7 MPa to seat bearings or pins, using the needle-set cushions to prevent impact damage on the fixture.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to an MIC25X50 yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to an MIC40X50 increases thrust to 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm class when moving heavier fixtures at high velocities, as the adjustable air cushion is essential for preventing harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold position during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
The U 90-degree back cover offers flexible mounting, and you can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches for precise end-position detection.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and is not a brake. For vertical loads, you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to confirm position.
